Actually Dr. Pickart has stated before: "Don't take copper sulfate - It will damage your GI tract. Stick to the amino acid-copper chelate ...5mg daily which should be OK...Amino acid chelates are much less irritating or can have anti-inflammatory actions." Best Wishes!

Thank you for warning us, I had no idea about the different kinds let alone which would be safe to take. I feel like I get the right amount of copper balanced with the right balance of zinc because I've been taking Dr. Andrew Weil's vitamins for many years and he keeps up with the latest science and changes his formulas accordingly if the need arises to keep it in line with the most up--to-date science. Because I know I'm getting enough I do wonder if I could possibly get too much adding the...

I have a dog who developed a MRSA infection following obstruction surgery. I became so paranoid about germs, I had to scrub the dog's crate with a solution that used silver as a component of the spray to kill the MRSA germs. For those of you unfamiliar with this, MRSA is an antibiotic resistant germ that has the capacity to react to new antibiotics thrown at it and develop an immunity to those new antibiotics. I get a medical MRSA newsletter that has the latest attempts to find other ways to...

If you rely on popular articles and health guidelines to provide you with health-relevant information – beware! Often it takes years before scientific research data make their way through bureaucratic hurdles and become available to general public. This is why, despite abundant scientific evidence, copper, an absolutely essential element, is often considered not important and even dangerous. As a result, many people have no idea that they can be at risk of copper deficiency which may put...

The majority of data about the symptoms of severe copper deficiency came from animal studies, studies in malnourished children or a rare genetic abnormality - Menkel syndrome. Recently, scientists began to pay attention to signs and consequences of marginal copper deficiency as well. The main sign of severe copper deficiency in animals and humans is anemia that is unresponsive to iron therapy and is accompanied by severe abnormalities in bone marrow. Other symptoms include low white cell...

Dr. Pickart has asked me to post that two new books authored or co-authored will be coming out in the new future. The first which will available by Mid to Late Spring is the 3rd Edition of his book on copper peptides. The one after that will...

US Department of Agriculture studies found the best biochemical anti-oxidants results in humans were with 5 to 6 mgs of supplemental copper daily. More copper will help to some extent. The copper transport molecules are only about 50% loaded with...

"In the study below, it was found that GHK, at a very low concentration (10 nanomolar) reversed the effects of emphysema on the genes of affected fibroblast cells from the patients." *** *** *** Wow! Is the FDA aware of this? If so, why haven't they approved it and allow it to start being used to help patients? COPD is 24/7 suffering from not being able to get enough oxygen to the brain. A walk to the bathroom becomes a major event. Talking after the slightest exertion is impossible! It is a...

GHK has a potential for treating several diseases and in all the research on the molecule, no negative actions have ever been reported. But I doubt if it will ever used in the USA because of its low cost. Think of the new $1,000 a day drug for the treatment of hepatitis C of the liver. The best possibility is that it be used as a nutritional supplement and encapsulated in liposomes for oral use. It should fit the legal definition of a nutritional supplement. But GHK may be used in countries...

My brother just had two heart attacks. After being brought back from the dead twice he found out, during a checkup, that he also has COPD. Like your mom, he is steadily in decline, probably more emotionally and psychologically b/c he really has no hope from his doctors that there is anything that can be done. I am never surprised but always amazed what the supposedly Health Care System is (not) doing for the health of humanity. We know that a cure for cancer was found and used for stage 4...

This information is for the use of medical researchers and persons interested in health sciences. It must be emphasized that GHK and other copper binding peptides have not been tested on human emphysema and COPD and are not approved for such uses. One way that may help with COPD is to take 6 mg/day of copper glycinate after a meal. Look at the new revision of http://www.skinbiology.com/cop...sema-copd-genes.html . for the reasons behind this idea. It may not stop COPD but it may help to...

Thank you for your quick response. You are a great man doing a great work. Like many great men/women before you there is one caveat to greatness; and that is you/they are many years ahead of the time. I appreciate your advancement(s) in this area of science and research.

This is actually an ultrasonic cool mist inhaler... Ultrasonic wave puts the liquid medication ( reconstitute the Peptide GHK-cu with Bacteriostatic water) into an ultra fine mist. I know the advertising says Steam but its not... the manufacturer from China just doesn't know how to describe the product correctly in English. Trust me it works by ultrasonic wave. Search for Magicfly on Ebay... it's so cheap but works so well... instantly creates a mist...

Don't buy GHK-cu POWDER that is used for cosmetics to put in creams as you can't trust something like that to be pure and certainly isn't sterile... you must use GHK-cu Peptide which will come in a sterile vacuum sealed vial and the peptide is Lyophilized which means its freeze dried and will look like a white disc... Search for Research peptides Peptide Sciences and others

Please let me know if you hear of any good results with this system. My hope is that physicians outside of the USA start testing GHK-copper on patients. My fear is that the big pharma will replace GHK with an expensive synthetic drug filled with side effects. The person's lungs might work better, but their hair will fall out, they will have constant nausea, and their cognitive ability will plummet.

Dr I sure will report back here...people need to know . There is a lot of research on GHK and I haven't read one negative to using it. It's use can go well beyond COPD's use... Dr's need to band together to use natural peptides like GHK to heal people. It's naturally occurring so they have a lot of leeway in it's use... If anything GHK declines with age and should be used to bring the levels back to a more normal state to facilitate normal healthy healing. Big pharma will want to alter it to...

Dr. Pickart, My name is Mike Smalling, and I’m currently a grad student at Louisiana Tech University studying in molecular science. I have read many of your papers, and became very interested in the tripeptide GHK through them. I have also read Dr. Campbell’s work on COPD, and Dr. Lane’s work with SPARC as well as others. I intended to do a master’s thesis on research of the tripeptide, but after I had gotten through the initial research, my advisors here realized I was in an area they were...

June of 2014 will mark my 10 year anniversary of using copper peptide preparations. I will be turning 50 in a little over a year. Folks don't believe me when I tell them I'm sneaking up on 50 years old!

Originally Posted by Julee: Folks don't believe me when I tell them I'm sneaking up on 50 years old! Julee, I can see why! In your profile picture you look in your 30's! If 10 years of cps did that, I'm starting my 10 year journey . Thing is I'm 57 already so I'll be 67 in 10 years. If you look in your 30's at almost 50 then I should look in my 40's (younger than I am now) when I hit the 10 year mark. Yes, yes, I know everyone is different physically as far as body, skin, and general health...

Are there specific brands or formulations you all could recommend? e.g. strictly topical, GHK copper the only ingredient or should I watch out for other ingredients, which brands to avoid, etc. I would like to use GHK copper for my hair and skin, but would it also help internally, if there is a formulation safe for ingestion?

Dear Sheila: Thanks for posting your question! The work on copper peptides continues to impress. However, since this forum is solely dedicated to the science behind copper peptides, the FDA does not allow specific mention of product names or links to be posted on our forum. To keep abreast of the published papers and work being done around the world on GHK-Cu, be sure to continue to visit www.SkinBiology.com Best Wishes, -Skin Biology

Do you feel tired? Frustrated? Desperate? Do you keep spending money on skin care solutions that do not work? Indeed, with so many cosmetic products promising to ban wrinkles, lines and creases, eradicate cellulite and eliminate acne, why do we still have all those skin problems? Why is it that everywhere we look, we still see wrinkles and lines and sagging skin? Well, maybe with the exception of glamorous beauties of Hollywood, but who knows how many surgeries it took to achieve that look.

Copper peptides are the combination of small amino acid chains with copper 2+ (blue copper). Dr. Pickart's entire career focused on the question of why blood from young persons (20-25) supported cells and tissues better blood from older persons...

Dr. Pickart had me post this for your reading enjoyment. In 1984, I observed that GHK-Cu possesses a mild antioxidant activity similar to the enzyme superoxide dismutase, which manifests itself as a calming of red and irritated skin. Steve Aust’s lab at Utah State University discovered that GHK-Cu blocks the damage-induced release of oxidizing iron molecules from ferritin. Further discoveries followed. Vinci et al. at the University of Catalina in Italy reported that GHK-Cu blocks tissue...

Hi everyone! I live in the UK and have been able to source a 50mg GHK-CU powder vial from a reputable lab. I want to use it topically for skin ageing and, most importantly, on my scalp to help with alopecia. I plan to do microneedling once a month on face and scalp and apply a cream made with the peptide. I only use natural products on my skin so I was thinking of mixing the peptide with my current face cream which is from a 100% natural german brand called weleda. You can see the...

Thank you for posting your question - We are happy to reply back! We are checking with Dr. Pickart to see if there might possibly be any interaction if you plan on adding GHK-Cu to this product. Keep in mind that for a finished product however, Dr. Pickart never suggests to go beyond 3% GHK-Cu as the final concentration. There simply would be no need to and Less is More when dealing with potent cosmeceuticals. Best Wishes, -Skin Biology

You have been so helpful THAN YOU! I’ve tested the PH of the cream and it’s a neutral 5 so I’m hoping that’s all we need to make sure of? I’ve also tested various oils such as jojoba or, even better for hair, castor oil, and they come at a neutral ph as well. Will that be enough to consider them safe for the GHK-Cu? With more research I’ve understood you do need to dilute the pure powder in order to add it in drops to the final medium (cream or oil). Am I correct? Copper toxicity does worry...

Dear SEIHAA : The good news is that copper toxicity shouldn't be a worry at all. Irritation is the main thing to keep in mind when mixing a finished product. Please email Dr. Pickart directly and he'll be able to assist - Send an email to: drlorenpickart@gmail.com You can copy / paste your above questions and send them in the email. Dr. Pickart would be the best person to check with on this. Best Wishes, -Skin Biology
